1 Source of materials
The compound was obtained commercially (Sigma–Aldrich). Crystals suitable for the diffraction test were taken directly from the provided product.
2 Experimental details
The positions of hydrogen atoms on carbon atoms were calculated geometrically and refined using the riding model. All the hydrogen atoms on nitrogen atoms were located from difference Fourier map and refined with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N). The distance between the hydrogen atoms and the nitrogen atoms were refined freely. A DFIX restrain was used to get a better model for the hydrogen atoms. The absolute structure was established by refinement of the Flack parameter (0.016(12) from 489 selected quotients) using Parsons’ method. 5
3 Comment
The title compound can be used for the synthesis of levetiracetam, 6 and brivaracetam. 7 Despite an extensive search through the Cambridge Structural Database, no reports on the single crystal structure of title compound were identified. The structural analogue, 2-aminobutanoic acid was reported as nitrate, 8 and dihydrogen phosphate. 9 , 10 , 11
The title compound crystallized in P212121 space group with one 2-aminobutanamide cation and one chloride anion in its asymmetric unit, forming a 1:1 organic salt. All bond lengths fall in the normal range. The carbon chain exhibits a typical zig-zag-like conformation. The twist angle between C1–C2–C3–C4 is 178.04 (18)°, suggesting that above atoms are nearly coplanar. Protonated amino groups establish hydrogen bonds with two chloride ions and an amide group nearby. H1A atom on the terminal amide group also engages in hydrogen bonding with a chloride ion, characterized by a DA distance of 3.250 (2) Å.
